E
Got a whiskey drinking fever that I cannnot shake

High-waisted rockies and the sailor's mouths

        E
And the boys at the back of the bar scream loud
[Refrain]
G           D             E
Oh, whiskey river take me home
[Verse 2]

I'll wait around just to stir shit up

That whiskey river flowing ain't ever enough

'Cause I'm a heavy-drinking hard-hitting good ol' boy

My breath smells like my regrets again

I had a woman in Wisconsin, and a woman in Maine

I head to Oklahoma with the flask and a comb

There was no one in town that would give me a ride

Stole a pick-up truck from a gas station pump

I pray to the Lord for a run of good luck

And I was four hundred miles down Highway 10

All of a sudden I was arrested again

They told me eight years in the county pen

Or eight years in the army killing evil men
[Refrain]

Oh, Uncle Sam I wanna go home
